Component Playgrounds is concerned about the safety of your vision. It
is important that you choose to protect your vision by wearing proper
safety glasses during each and every phase of this construction
process.
PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE BEGINNING
The MT32 can be installed as a one day project. The normal time required
to install the MT32 is about 2-4 hours for a two man crew. This time
requirement will vary dependent upon the composition of the soil and the
speed of the installers. Mix and pour the concrete as the last step.
*Before digging, please obey local laws by notifying your local
underground utilities marking organization*

Installation Instructions
1. Select an area in your yard that is reasonably level and meets the space
requirement for your equipment. Ground Space: 18’ x 15’. Play Space: 22’
x 24’.
2. Please refer to the top rail assembly sheet and assemble your top rail as
instructed.
3. Position the Outrigger (see top rail page) about 10’ from the selected
spot where you want the unit to finally stand. Using a tape measure and
marker, mark location of the swing hangers and the ladder along the
outrigger. (see top view on assembly and installation instructions for
measurements.)
4. Assemble swing hangers (see swing hanger assembly sheet) and attach
securely to the top rail. Hint: Only attach the three swing hangers that will
be on the inside of the ladder and the A frame legs.
5. Using the hammer, install the plug into the open end of the top rail.
6. Locate position in your yard where the upright ladder will stand. Dig the
hole for the ladder (see Installation Instruction page #1). Lay the ladder
onto the ground with the bottom of the ladder laying just over the hole
where it will finally stand. Hint: Be sure to situate the ladder so that when
the unit is finally standing the rungs will be facing as desired in your space.
7. Turn the top rail onto its side on the ground. Slide the top rail into the
sleeve at the top of the ladder and position it to the marks previously made.
(see Installation Instruction page #3). Loosely install set screws into the top
of the ladder sleeve. Bolt “A” frame legs into place (see #2).
8. Using two strong adults, stand the swing frame up, allowing the ladder to
fall into the hole previously dug. (Note: set will not be level at this point.) At
this point, check to make sure that the top rail is still in its proper place
inside the ladder top sleeve. Adjust as necessary by holding onto the
ladder securely and pushing or pulling the “A” frame section causing the
top rail to slide inside the top sleeve. When you are satisfied that the top
rail is in the proper position, securely tighten the set screws in the top
sleeve of the ladder.
9. With the ladder still standing in its hole, situate the “A” frame end to the

desired position in the play area. Determine location of the “A” frame legs
and mark the holes. Move the legs out of the way and dig the holes. (Keep
most of the hole to the inside of the leg). Place the legs into the holes.
10. Measure from about the middle of the top rail to the ground. This
measurement should be 8’. Determine the level of the swing set by using
the level along the length of the top rail. Remove from, or add soil to the
holes as necessary to put the unit to the correct height and to make it level.
11. Attach Slide bracket to Ladder (See plastic slide assembly sheet) and
attach slide to bracket as instructed.
12. Mix concrete according to package directions and pour into the holes.
(See installation instructions page #1.) You will use approximately 6-7 80
pound bags in the ladder hole and 1 1⁄2 bags in each of the leg holes.
13. Allow the concrete to cure completely before you use your swing set
(3-5 days).
14. Attach chains and swing seats and enjoy your Component Playground!

Read Before Use
Congratulations! You have just purchased one of the finest pieces of playground equipment available.
Your family will enjoy many hours of fun with this fine equipment. Playground equipment can be most
enjoyable, but there are some dangers if not used properly. You should be aware of the following:
Equipment should be installed in a level area, free from obstructions, with enough space to allow for
adequate clearance in all directions when equipment is in maximum use.
Keep objects away from equipment that could interfere with persons using it or that could be hazardous.
Misuse or abuse of this playground equipment is dangerous and can cause serious injury.
This equipment should be inspected before each use and any worn, defective or missing parts should be
replaced.
Children should play on equipment only with adult supervision and should be duly warned of the potential
hazards in this type of equipment when used improperly. Children should be instructed as to proper
caution to take in its use.
Equipment should NOT be used when it is wet or icy.
Equipment should only be used in a well-lit area.
Do NOT use equipment when tired, under stress or emotionally upset.
Do NOT overcrowd.
Do NOT use equipment when under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Do NOT attempt somersaults or gymnastic stunts on or using this equipment.
Know your own limitations and exercise caution at all times.
Do not jump off of equipment when dismounting. It is a dangerous practice to jump on or off equipment.
Do not attempt to use equipment for something other than the use for which it was designed and
intended, or in a manner other than that for which it was designed and intended.
While every attempt is made by Component Playgrounds to ensure the highest degree of
safety in all of our equipment, we cannot guarantee freedom from injury. The user
assumes all risk of injury due to use. All merchandise is sold on this condition, which no

representative of the company can waive or change.
Maintenance of your playground
We hope that you and your family will enjoy many hours of great family fun while using your
Component Playgrounds Products. We appreciate your business. Our goal is to provide safe,
durable and fun products using the best materials available. Your product should be mostly
maintenance free. However, you should consider the following suggestions with regard to the
up keep of your new swing set.
1. Chains and Connectors: The chains are coated with the highest quality bright zinc
coating and the highest quality polymer coatings available. However, over time the
zinc coating may become discolored or eventually have surface rust appear. The
polymer coating may also become discolored with time and may eventually crack. This
depends mostly upon environmental conditions and normally will not affect the
durability and safety of the product. However, these items should be inspected
regularly for excessive wear and should be replaced as necessary.
2. Swing Hangers: These items are coated with a high quality galvanizing. However,
swing hangers may become discolored or may eventually rust. Should this happen, a
touch up using a cold galvanizing compound followed by a coat of silver aluminum spray
paint will make them look new again. These items can be purchased in aerosol cans
(“spray paint”) at most hardware stores and at Component Playgrounds. The brass
bushings inside of the swing hanger are impregnated with lubricant and will not
generally require any further lubrication. However, these should be periodically
inspected for wear and replaced as necessary. Note: Twisting the chains while swinging
will put extra wear on the swing hanger parts. If your children enjoy this practice, please
inspect the swing hangers more frequently.
3. Tire Swing Knuckles (for sets with a tire swing): The tire swing knuckle arrives at
Component Playgrounds pre-lubricated from the manufacturer. However, it is good
practice to inspect the knuckle and be sure that there is adequate lubrication before it
is used for the first time. After that, the tire knuckles should be lubricated at least twice
annually to prevent excessive wear and the eventual failure of the tire swing knuckle.

4. Welds: The heat from the welding process will damage the galvanizing that is on the
pipe when it arrives to us from the manufacturer. This damage to the galvanizing is
restricted to the actual weld. When your equipment is built, Component Playgrounds
will repair this damage using a cold galvanizing compound spray along with a top coat
of silver aluminum. This is a time tested and durable process. However, when you are
inspecting your playground equipment, if you notice that some surface rust has
appeared on the welds, simply apply a fresh coat of the cold galvanizing compound
and the silver aluminum top coat to keep your structure looking new. (These spray
products
can be purchased in aerosol cans (“spray paint”) at most hardware stores and
at Component Playgrounds.)
5. Plastic Lumber Platforms: If you have purchased a structure which includes a
platform, the plastic lumber does not need to be finished or stained. It is 100%
maintenance free. However, you may need to occasionally hose it down to remove
dirt and other debris that may collect after many hours of use by happy children.
6. Vinyl Canopies: If you have purchased a structure which includes a vinyl canopy, this
product should be inspected occasionally for wear and will need to be replaced as
necessary. Depending upon your environmental conditions, the normal life
expectancy of the vinyl canopy is 3 – 5 years.
7. Swing Seats: These should be inspected at least twice annually and should be replaced
as necessary.
8. Slides: Slides should never be lifted at the bottom. Lifting the slide at the bottom will
almost always cause the slide to crack at the top where it has been attached to
the platform or bracket. Cracks and wear such as is caused by this practice are
easily identifiable and will not be covered under the product warranty.
Slides should be inspected at least annually to ensure that the sliding surface is in
good condition. Also inspect the side rails to be sure that the plastic has not been cut
or gouged in any manner which would present the risk of injury while sliding.
9. Fasteners: All fasteners should be periodically inspected to make certain that they are
tight and secure. Re-secure as
necessary.
*For Safety please inspect all moving parts on a regular basis. (At Least Yearly)
Especially paying attention to wear within the swing hanger.

To Help Prevent Injuries from Falls & Other Hazards
1. Never attach, or allow children to attach the following items to your swing set: Ropes, jump ropes,
clotheslines, pet leashes or any similar type of item to your swing set. Any item such as these may
present a strangulation hazard.
2. Periodically inspect all nuts, bolts, set screws, clevis, and carabineer or “S” hooks. Make certain that
these are functionally safe and secure. If you have any doubt as to the safety and security of any
connector or fastener, replace it.
2a. You should periodically check the brass bushings in the swing hangers. Look for excessive
wear in the bushing and replace as necessary.
2b. If your playground has a tire swing: The tire swing knuckle should be lubricated twice annually
to prevent wear.
3. Never allow children to wear bicycle helmets when using playground equipment.
4. Remove drawstrings from hoodies and jackets. Remove attached mittens and gloves. These can
become entangled with the equipment and present the risk of strangulation or other hazards.
5. Playground surfaces can become hot in the sun. Children should be required to wear shoes and socks
when using this or any playground equipment.
6. Check for and remove sharp points or edges in the playground equipment.
7. Remove tripping hazards from the playground area. Items such as exposed concrete footings, tree
stumps, rocks or any item that may be present in your space that a child could trip over while playing
should be removed.
8. Regularly check the play equipment and the surfacing surrounding it to be certain that both are in good
condition.
9. Parental Supervision is recommended. The best ingredient for a safe playground is good parental
supervision while the kids are using the equipment.
10. Remember to play safely, take turns, share with each other and have fun!
